Minecraft is one of my favorite games of all time, and there's no way it should ever be able to run on the Apple G4 Cube. Well, not a stock one at least.

The fine folks at Macrumors have created finely-tuned versions of Minecraft for PowerPC, and our souped up Cube with upgraded graphics and processor *should* theoretically be able to run it now. Fun fact - our GeForce 6200 video card has twice as much VRAM as the stock Cube had regular RAM!

So let's install the tuned Minecraft on the Cube, and see if we get anything close to a playable experience.
